How to request an app or game review on AndroidGuys
TL;DR
AndroidGuys is an Android and consumer tech site that launched on 5 November 2007. Developers ask for coverage through a free "Request App or Game Review" form, with no guarantee of coverage, and brands that want a guaranteed write-up can buy a paid Product Highlight, labelled as sponsored. It suits founders with an Android app, a game or a gadget for everyday users.
What is AndroidGuys?
AndroidGuys calls itself one of the first websites dedicated entirely to Android. Its coverage started with phones and software and now spans tablets, wearables, smart displays, TVs, smart home gear and audio. The site publishes news, reviews, buyer's lists ("The Best"), deals and opinion pieces, plus podcasts. Scott Webster is the Editor-in-Chief.
For app makers, the review request page says the team currently has the most success with short-form reviews and highlights inside its semi-weekly and weekly podcasts.
Who should submit to AndroidGuys?
- Founders of a consumer Android app or game with a clear hook for everyday phone owners.
- Hardware startups selling accessories, earbuds, chargers, smart home or wearable devices.
- Brands that want guaranteed visibility and have a budget for a sponsored highlight.
- Skip it with a B2B tool, an iOS-only app, or a product nobody can download or buy yet.
How much does AndroidGuys cost?
The review request form is free. AndroidGuys also sells a Product Highlight: an editorial-style overview of a product's features, design and use cases, with original photos when you send a sample. The site states that it does not accept payment in exchange for a favorable review, that paid placement guarantees visibility and not an opinion, and that this content is marked as sponsored. Its sponsorship page lists packages across the site, podcasts and social channels. No prices are published; you get them after you fill in the form.
How do you get your app reviewed on AndroidGuys?
- Open the Request App or Game Review page and fill in the embedded form with your app details.
- Add the Google Play link, a short description, screenshots and what makes the app different.
- For press announcements, email press@androidguys.com. For product and accessory reviews, write to reviews@androidguys.com (addresses from the contact page).
- For a guaranteed sponsored write-up, use the form on the Product Highlight page, or write to sponsors@androidguys.com.
- Wait for a reply. The site says it makes every attempt to share submissions with its audience and cannot guarantee coverage.
Tips to get more out of AndroidGuys
- Write your pitch so a host can read it out loud in 30 seconds on the podcast: what the app does, who it is for, the price.
- Send a promo code or full-access test account with the form, so the team can try the paid features.
- Pitch hardware with a review unit. Most recent posts on the site are gadget reviews, and samples get original photos.
- Time your submission one to two weeks before launch, so the mention lands while the Play Store page is fresh.
- Use the free form first, and buy a highlight only if you need a fixed date.
Our verdict
AndroidGuys is a long-running Android site with a free, simple form for app and game review requests. Free coverage is a podcast mention or a short review at best, so hardware founders get more from it than pure app makers. The paid highlight gives a guaranteed, clearly labelled article if launch timing matters.
